Computer science is the study of computers and computational systems, both hardware and software. Computer Science is a diverse field that spans several core areas including Artificial Intelligence, Security, Computer systems and Networks, Database Systems, Software Engineering, Machine Learning, Vision and Graphics, Numerical Analysis, Programming Languages, and Data Structures and Algorithms.
MISSION: At ANU, our mission is to develop students that will incorporate meticulous analysis with inquisitiveness, creative power, and a desire for solving the problems in society.
Tomorrow’s problems will require technologies not yet invented. Many of the software and hardware tools that enable these technologies are being developed by our faculty and students. Such innovation requires dedication to learning, in the classroom, in the research laboratory, and throughout one’s professional career. Scientific discovery and technological innovation require mastery of the fundamentals of computing science as well as mastery of practical technical skills. At the Department of Computer Science, we offer a unique educational opportunity for students to achieve excellence in both through rigorous classes and participation in cutting edge research.
Graduates of this program have career opportunities in many industries, including computer systems design, digital systems, systems analysis, software engineering, data communications and information systems and many more.
A bachelor of science degree, with a major in computer science, prepares students for a variety of careers which includes:
